What to do if high blood uric acid causes gout

Gout caused by high blood uric acid requires active treatment, which can be done through non-pharmacological treatment such as dietary modification, increasing water intake and pharmacological treatment such as the use of indomethacin, colchicine, allopurinol, and so on. 1. Non-pharmacological treatment: Avoid high purine diet; recommend obese people to adopt low-calorie balanced diet, increase the amount of exercise to achieve and maintain the ideal weight; avoid sugary drinks and alcohol intake; drink enough water every day to maintain normal urine output. 2. Drug treatment: in the acute stage, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as indomethacin and colchicine should be used to relieve pain; the indications for the use of uric acid-lowering drugs are acute gouty attack, multi-joint involvement, and the appearance of gout stones. Uric acid-lowering drugs are commonly used to inhibit uric acid production (such as allopurinol) and promote uric acid excretion (such as probenecid, benzbromarone); alkaline drugs (such as sodium bicarbonate tablets, potassium sodium citrate combination) to alkalinize the urine. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital in time and use medication under the guidance of professional doctors.
